Caps assortment guide for Egypt
Buyers combine importers in the main port cities with regional wholesalers, and many source both everyday casualwear and modest, loose-cut styles. Sun-protective caps, trucker caps and bucket hats are high-volume, low-cost lines for wholesale and promotion.
Ramadan, Eid and the summer holiday months lift sales, with a smaller winter push for jackets and fleece. Size runs lean towards medium and large, and labelling is often requested in French or Arabic.
caps for Egypt ships from Mundra or Kandla and discharges at Alexandria, about 14–22 days at sea. Because garments pack by carton count rather than weight, we plan the container by volume and keep footwear apart from fabric cartons.

Who buys caps in Egypt
Egypt is Africa's most populous Arab country and a major manufacturing and construction market, with the New Administrative Capital, the Suez Canal Economic Zone and large industrial cities around Cairo. Alexandria, Port Said, Damietta and Sokhna are the main ports.
Shops, market traders and school suppliers refill denim, shirts, kidswear, caps and footwear every season, so importers buy ready-made assortments in mixed containers rather than single styles.
